Any IAS officer of the country can use red-blue light on his official vehicle. However, there are many rules regarding this too. Pooja Khedkar is currently in the probation period and is a trainee IAS officer. Let us tell you that no trainee IAS officer can use red-blue light on his private vehicle. Not only this, trainee IAS officers get very few facilities and privileges compared to other IAS officers.
According to the information, IAS rank officers can use red-blue lights only in their government vehicles. That too only during duty. If the officer is not sitting in a government vehicle, then according to the rules, the red-blue light is kept covered during that time. Apart from this, no IAS officer can use red-blue light on his personal vehicles. If he does so, the local police administration can take action against him.
What is the rule regarding red and blue light
Let us tell you that the culture of red and blue lights has been abolished in the country from May 1, 2017. According to the rules, only ambulances, fire brigades and vehicles deployed in emergency services can use blue lights. To implement this decision, changes were made in the Central Motor Vehicles Act 1989. Rule 108 (1) (3) of this Act says that the central and state governments can decide on which vehicles red and blue lights can be installed.
